And don't even get me started about shots!

I am so with you on that one.

I knew I could depend on you Garry. Thanks! That makes up for the swallowing pills and being a fraidy cat of shots.

I thought being good looking made up for that?

I think my shot issues started with an incident when I was very young. I don't remember it, but my mother told me that the doctor had to retrieve me from underneath a table to give me a shot.

To this day, my dad won't hold my hand anymore while I am getting a shot, so I have to make sure one of my coworkers comes with me to hold my hand while I get the flu shot. Everyone at work thinks I am a big wimp, but I work with a lot of people that were in the military so they had to get a ton of shots and are use to it.

My mom even had to come to the doctors with me when I had to get a numbing shot for a mole removal on my back. And yes, my tetanus (sp?) shot should have been given to me about 11 years ago.

: OK, so the truth is out. We raised a wimp. Good thing that she was the one that didn't have the seizures!!

I prefer to think of it as being sensible...why tell someone it's okay to stick a metal object in your arm?

I have also been tainted by years of watching paramedics attempt to start an IV on squad runs.

Now that's where I cringe. For one of my surgeries they ATTEMPTED 10 times before someone got wise and asked for the anetheisiologist. (sp)

I got my bloodwork back from our 9News Health fair. I have high levels of SGOT and another one and it states that it could be cirosis or hepatitis. It really keeps going back to alcohol. Cmon.....I don't drink but maybe a drink or two every month. I am wondering if a hypothyroid could cause it. My dad got pancreatitis and they kept accusing him of drinking excessively and he DIDN'T. He got so mad over that. And now I am wondering about myself. Well, I am not calling the doctor before our trip. I will wait until we get back and get the all inclusive alcohol out of my system. LOL Man, isn't THAT ironic.

I think I just passed out for a quick second after reading those 2 posts.

Then I guess I shouldn't tell you about the squad run where they put the IV in the woman's neck because they missed so many times in the arm...

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Hey, Denine and Jerry...are you back already? It got cloudy real fast!

OMG, do you realize that is my biggest fear that in an emergency that woman could be ME?? I have been told that they go for the groin area as well. I was told not to worry, they could always find a spot. Whatever.

Denine & Jerry were due home today, right?

Jeanne, where are you? If I am right today is your dog and Zoe babysitting day.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hey Heidi, when are we going to Armadillo?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Gary - holy cr*p, you would have to tie me down before anyone got near my neck with a needle.

Mom - I thought Friday? Are you thinking differently? I get off at 3:30 and Chris will already be home.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Friday is perfect, Heidi.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Mom - what time do you want to go?

Interesting, Garry. It keeps going up but I am not hysteric. (just the airplane is putting me there, lol)

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

I just read something today where they said the "experts" aren't as worried about it as they were before.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Ok so where is Denine?
